Taylor Swift Warned Kanye West That "Famous" Was "Misogynistic," While Kanye Responds With Another Twitter Rant

We know by now that Kanye West loves to shock and awe (this is the same man who announced his candidacy for presidency at the VMAs). So, not surprisingly, there were plenty of jaw-dropping moments at his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show in Madison Square Garden yesterday—the most insane being when he debuted his new song "Famous." Specifically, the line where Kanye raps: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b-tch famous." Yuck. Obviously, Taylor Swift's squad has stepped up to defend their benevolent leader. Her brother, Austin Swift, chucked his Yeezys in response. Bestie Gigi Hadid tweeted her allegiance to Swift: "My attendance somewhere does not mean I agree with everything being said in the music playing there." And Jaime King wasn't far behind to stick up for the godmother of her child: "I'm so sad right now and disappointed right now. I stand by my sister. Always," she wrote on Twitter. But the real question is, what does Tay—who reportedly squashed her beef with Kanye forever ago—think of the controversial song? TMZ first reported that Kanye called Taylor Swift to alert her about the lyric, explaining that it was just a

But the real question is, what does Tay—who reportedly squashed her beef with Kanyeforever ago—think of the controversial song?

TMZ first reported that Kanye called Taylor Swift to alert her about the lyric, explaining that it was just a joke and ensuring that she wouldn't be upset over it's inclusion in "Famous." TMZ's sources claim that Swift was cool with the joke and gave him the thumbs up to go ahead—but now, we're learning that is not the case. Swift's spokesperson has revealed that phone call went quite differently: "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that b-tch famous.'"

UPDATE Kanye West has responded to all of the "Famous" hoopla with, what else, another Twitter rant. According to his latest Tweets, Kanye claims that Taylor Swift gave him her "blessings," that b-tch is actually a term of endearment in hip-hop, and that Tay came up with the debated line herself.
